Brewer Family Crest
Origin of the Name Brewer
The ancient history of the name Brewer was found in the allfamilycrests.com archives. Meaning 'the brewer', Brewer is an occupational name for someone who was a brewer of beer. Variants include Bruer and Brewster. This name is of Anglo-Saxon descent spreading to the Celtic countries of Ireland, Scotland and Wales in early times and is found in many mediaeval manuscripts throughout the above islands. Examples of such are a William le Brewere, London, who was recorded in the 'Hundred Rolls', England, in the year 1273 and a John le Brewer, who was recorded in the ancient book 'Kirby's Quest'. An Anthony Bruer was registered in the University of Oxford in the year 1588, and a Charles Brewer and Pennie Mattichamp were married in Saint Georges Chapel Mayfair, in the year 1750.
In Ireland this name and its variants were introduced into Ulster Province by settlers who arrived from England and Scotland, especially during the seventeenth century. It was the 'Plantations of Ireland' in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that marked the end of Gaelic supremacy in Ireland. While the influx of settlers in the wake of the earlier Anglo-Norman invasion of the twelfth century resulted in a full integration into Irish society of the new arrivals, the same never occurred with the Ulster Planters who maintained their own distinct identity.
Brewer can also be variant forms of the names Burgess and Brugha in Ireland.
The Brewer coat of arms came into existence centuries ago. The process of creating coats of arms (also often called family crests) began in the eleventh century although a form of Proto-Heraldry may have existed in some countries prior to this. The new art of Heraldry made it possible for families and even individual family members to have their very own coat of arms, including all Brewer descendants.
